Today we were called to Hares, a small village approximately 17 km (10.5 miles) south of Nablus, where a two-story home and a business were demolished this morning by the Israeli Army. The house had been five years under construction and the Sultan family was preparing to move in. No demolitions orders were issued, no warning was given – the Army merely showed up at 9AM, cut down an olive tree, and demolished the home!!! Then proceeded down the street to demolish a business. Illegal!!!! Egregious!!!!! Criminal!!! Disgraceful!!!! As one local Palestinian woman said: “Crimes against God.”

"Cowardice asks the question - is it safe? Expediency asks the question - is it politic? Vanity asks the question - is it popular? But conscience asks the question - is it right?

"To think deeply in our culture is to grow angry and to anger others; and if you cannot tolerate this anger, you are wasting the time you spend thinking deeply.

"To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is it's justice; that is it's morality."
~ Pierre Proudhon
